Depends on what you mean by expanding your network. Do you need a bunch
of new routers? Probably not. Do you need to consider port count at
every station? Absolutely. However, there is good news and bad news.
The good news is that most of the phones that are being recommended to

No idea on the phone ports but I doubt it as 100Mbit is sufficient and
the parts are cheap for the makers of the phones.
Not a bad switch but since you get 4 ports (one is used for connect to
wall) you may want to just up for the 8 port unless you know only two
people will use each switch. You

For this exact scenario, which I am instituting with Polycom 501s, I
opted to get the unmanaged switch in each room. I don't see the problem
from a net admin's point of view 'cause the only problem that came to
mind was the fact that hubs/switches can't be too many levels deep or

Thanks for all the great replies. I guess I over-asked my question
(since so many kept popping up).
For now, what I really need to determine is what I need to budget for
a full implementation. Unfortunately, I don't have time now to do
testing and analysis... I just need to get my budget

Why not look at getting a provider that can port your numbers to their
network and buying the DID's off them over VoIP?

Ed,
1.) I would suggest that you purchase a system from a Vendor, or that
you use [EMAIL PROTECTED] That would allow you a much less steep
learning curve before you get to a working system, and it would
provide you with all of the features that you are likely to ever want.

About 50 users or fewer. But I suppose there are some more lines

I think one thing you may want to remember is that porting numbers to a
VoIP provider can make them EXTREMELY hard to ever port back to a normal
telco provider. Also, if there is ever a problem with the VoIP provider

Sounds like a PRI T1 will be fine for you to start with. It offers you
23 voice channels (one channel is used for signaling).
That means you can get a single Digium T1 card for around $600 or you

Digium doesn't have a 2-port card, Sangoma does (that would give you a
little bit of headroom while you surely don't need a 4-port T1 card).
Actually, that is no longer true :-) Digium has just

Hi Newbie,
I wonder how you could find the mailing list but NOT the wiki
at http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk, that
documents a huge area of how to use Asterisk in many
scenarios.
First of all, take a week or two to read the wiki and to set up
a testing environment and try to
you could also use the existing phone lines from your
Comdial. That way you don't need any new phone lines
or a VOIP provider. What do you have connected to it
